Rectangle pattern consists primarily of rectangular __________ subdivided into rectangular __________.

• A. Sections, bases
• B. Segments, cells
• C. Panels, blocks
• D. Parts, units

Answer: (A)

The rectangle pattern is built as a grid: large rectangular sections form the framework of the pattern, and each of these sections is subdivided into rectangular bases. The sections establish the overall shape and alignment of the pattern, while the bases define the smaller areas where each curl is created. This two-tier system—sections at a larger scale and bases within them—gives a uniform, predictable distribution of curl across the head.

Other terms don’t fit this two-level structure. For example, segments, cells, panels, blocks, parts, or units aren’t the standard way to describe the rectangular framework and its internal subdivisions used in this pattern.
